Mine don't - with the exception you noted. >>>If so, why do they get so sore when removing the shoes? Maybe the tendons and ligaments of the legs and back need time to stretch from years of odd trimming/shoeing? Maybe they have contracted heels? Or maybe sometimes it's just an excuse - sounds better than saying the horses needs hoof manipulation in order to gait. Karen Karen Thomas Wingate, NC No virus found in this outgoing message.
